Cats are obligate carnivores: their physiology has evolved to efficiently process meat, and they have difficulty digesting plant matter.
猫是专性肉食动物：它们的生理已演变得能够有效处理肉类，而且它们很难消化植物。
Obligate or true carnivores depend solely on the nutrients found in animal flesh for their survival. While they may consume small amounts of plant material, they lack the physiology required for the efficient digestion of vegetable matter and, in fact, some carnivorous mammals eat vegetation specifically as an emetic. The domestic cat is a prime example of an obligate carnivore, as are all of the other felids.
专性或真正的食肉动物完全依赖于动物的肉中得到的营养。虽然他们可能会食用少量的植物材料，他们缺乏有效地消化植物的生理机能，而事实上，一些肉食性哺乳动物专门为了催吐吃植物。家猫是专性肉食动物最好的例子，正如其他所有的猫科动物一样。
以后猫饭里还放白菜不？纠结中。
